Not only did Ellsworth Vines defeat Bud Chandler In the finals of Ihe men's singles to dethrone the 1930 title holder, but Alice Marble upset the dope when he trounced Dorothy Weisel, the Seals' Stadium in the most brilliant pitching duel of the season.

Twelve innings were required before Walter was able to complete his pitching handiwork, 3 to 0, th break, long expected, but slow in materializing after eleven innings of deadly pitching thrusts and parries, occuring when Sammy Hala opened the twelfth with a bounder to deep short that he beat out for a single. Indicative of the kind of deception Cole was dispensing, let it be recorded here that this was the Beavers' first hit since the seventh and their second since the third. champion for the last two years, to annex the women's crown. Vines decisively trimmed Chandler in a torrid four set battle 6-4, 6-8, 8-6, 6-4. The favored south erner, unable to match the strategy of his opponent, resorted to a slash ing driving game to take Chandler into camp.

As it was, however, all the thunder of the day was stolen by Miss Marble, a 17-year-old Golden Gate Park girl. Not satisfied with ousting Miss Weisel by scores of 8-6, 4-6, 6-4, Miss Marble came back a few minutes later to take Gracyn Wheeler into camp to capture the national girl's hardcourt singles, 6-0, 4-6, 6-4.
